Bathroom tile size dilemma - 6x18 vs 12x24 - black and white bathroom

4 years ago

Hi -

Would love some guidance of tile size choice.

I like the look of subway layout.

Here is the specs for the space -

Shower size is 5ft x 3ft.

Room size is 93" floor to ceiling outside the shower.

We plan on using floor to ceiling tiles for the entire room.

The toilet is in the same room as the shower.


I am getting the tiles from Floor & Decor -

Bright White ice ceramic wall -- right now leaning towards 6x18, however wondering if i can still get the same look with the 12x24 , stacking it in the subway pattern (benefit would be LESS grout lines, easier to keep clean).


For the shower flood, I have ordered the UPTOWN ANTRACITE HEXAGON PORCE --- but now having 2nd thoughts.

I originally wanted to use the white and Black Hexagon II porcelain mosaic, BUT was told not good option for shower floor b/c it would be "too slippery" -- any options similar to this style that would be appropriate for the shower?


Whichever TILE wall size i use in the shower / toilet room, i plan to use where the vanity is located.


The vanity is separated by the shower/toilet room by a door.

The vanity room is 93" x 43" (there is a door leading to the toilet/shower room).


For the vanity room, I will either use the 6x18 or even 1-2 sizes down since there is a window in that room so overall easier to keep clean.

For the vanity room, I plan on doing the lower half, with a black "bullnose" to finish off and paint the other half of the walls a pure white color.
